'At considerable speed'
The trains smashed into each other head on at around 10:30 pm (2130 GMT) Saturday on a single section of the rail line at Hordorf, near Magdeburg in Germany's eastern Saxony-Anhalt. Krueger said the trains smashed into each other 'at considerable speed' and that visibility was poor because of fog.
